HPS 80 Degree Bend 6061 Aluminum Elbow Tubing 16 Gauge with a 6" Leg Length and a 4-3/4" Center Line of Radius is frequently used in the industrial, automotive, marine, and aerospace industries. It is ideal for custom fabrication projects such as DIY air intakes, cooling systems, and turbo intercooler piping setups. 6061 aluminum is the most popular and versatile aluminum alloy and is the least expensive of the heat treatable aluminum alloys. HPS 3 "(76mm) aluminum round tubing with an 80-degree bend is sold in the T6 condition, which is perfect for sawing, machining, sanding, and polishing. HPS 80 Degree Bend aluminum elbow pipe can be polished, but care must be taken because aluminum is very soft, especially near welds.
A rigid metal tube (or pipe) is typically made of mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or copper and has a circular cross section, although square or rectangular (box) sections are also feasible, as are oval forms or more complex cross sections. In some cases, bent (or manipulated) tube has more advantages than other options, such as flexible hose or structures that have been made (welded) together.
In comparison to flexible hose, rigid tubing is more sturdy, has a longer life, and is frequently less expensive overall. It also looks better. Complex bend pathways or hose/tube combinations can obviate the need for additional components and leak channels. In comparison to fabricated alternatives, tubes are more visually spectacular, are typically more cost effective, and typically result in weight reductions.
Compression tube bending is similar to bending a copper pipe over your knee; you hold one end of the tube still and shape the tube around the former (in this case, your knee). The next step is a basic manual pipe bending instrument, the type that plumbers frequently use for copper tubes. To make more sophisticated multi-bend components, hand bending jigs utilize compression bending on tiny diameter tubing that can be bent manually.
Draw bending machines may be simple NC (numerically controlled) machines or fully CNC (computer numerically controlled) machines. The critical considerations are that the bend tooling must grip the tube precisely in order to pull it around the bend; this means that the tooling must be specific to the tube's external diameter; and that the central former around which the tube is drawn must match the required bend radius; this means that the tooling must be specific to the finished tube's bend radius.
If a very soft curve is required, i.e. one with a wide radius of curvature, then draw bending becomes problematic due to the size of the tooling (and the machine to install it on). This is where roll bending, also known as push bending, enters the picture.It functions by forcing the tube through three rollers?two on one side, and one in the middle on the other. When the rollers are lightly resting on the tube, it will simply pass through them without bending. However, as the roller pressure is increased, the tube begins to deform, becoming concave on the side of the single roller as the two outside rollers attempt to drive it around the inner roller. The more pressure is applied, the tighter the bend gets. Vivid racing also includes various types of models of 80 degree bend aluminium tubing.
